and regulation the first forty million of excise taxes under the under the amendment well actually go to a public school systems fund so people need to think about things like this as well whereas a lot of this money right now or all of this money is essentially going to drug gangs and cartels six thousand people were killed in mexico in the last six years based on drug violence this money is not going to their coffers any more it's going to be going to potentially public schools so i think that's a great thing we'll see what the feds decide to do on this eric holder has been in the past very critical of similar amendments and initiatives so we'll see if they come in crackdown but the people of colorado spoken and it will be interesting to see if if we implement if we can implement it without a hitch. i don't think we have much time to get into this but i we did get to touch on it it's interesting that the banks apparently don't know what to do if they're allowed to allow marijuana growers or businesses to bank with them because they could be violating federal regulations about money

wealthy it has an economy the size of portugal's but in terms of the number in terms of the size of taxes they pay it's much more to central government and they actually get back from a trade in terms of investments in schools and hospitals so they're annoyed about that and particularly when you consider that unemployment here is around twenty five percent so if a referendum does happen i suppose you could say that you would expect people to vote in favor of it although i say that those people who are against separatism to point out that if catalonia would draw from spain it could also mean it has to drop out of the european union and not many people in catalonia would be in favor of that if that turns out to be the case and maybe they would prefer the status quo so there are a lot of ifs and buts but what we do know as a result of today's election there is a growing sentiment of nationalism and a sense for independence here in catalonia. so irish prime minister mariano rajoy catalonia could be expelled from the gale sovereignty by prayer independence activist don argus as her region woul

catalonia is actually very wealthy it's a strong is portugal's but the fact is they give far more in taxes to the central government than they actually get back in terms of investment from madrid in things like schools and hospitals so the overall feeling is that they believe that separatism could well be the way forward after mass will have to try and fulfil his election promise of holding a referendum on independence from spain as you mentioned did not get an absolute majority so he will not be able to push this through straightaway but luckily for him the second biggest party that was voted him was also pro independence so the feeling is they will be able to negotiate and between them they will have enough power to push through this referendum but the biggest sticking point for this referendum is that it is against the spanish constitution some commentators are saying it could actually lead to the arrest of aftermath he tries to push it through the spanish prime minister matter and one hundred has also said. that said he would be desperate to keep hold of one of the country's wealth the
